With any comparison between a play and its movie counterpart there are bound to be major differences and key similarities between

The plots are quite similar in both plays, both the film and the play tell a story about a man who meets 3 people, in the

     There are many similarities and differences between the sixties version of Romeo and Juliet and the modern version of Romeo and Juliet. It is very easy to spot these differences considering the time period each movie was set in. There are some things in the play that totally got cut from both movies. There are also some things that they added to the movies that weren’t in the play. Let us get on to the similarities and differences.

differences exist between the original play and the film. Apart from the specific techniques of lighting and

In Summary, with these three examples it is shown that the play and the movie contrast quite a bit. Most of the story line and the dialogue were very similar to the original story in the movie but some things were changed, possibly to shorten the story to be able to make

A major similarity between She’s the Man and The Twelfth Night is the love triangle that

     The date of the composition of Twelfth Night is fixed around 1600 “during a period before a woman’s place was imagined as separate sphere, since, for the Renaissance, a woman was considered to be analogous to other social inferiors in a hierarchical society” (Malcolmson 161). During this time, England was enjoying a period of socio-political security and respect for the arts. Unfortunately, Elizabethan society was a masculine society in which women had little part. The female in Elizabethan society was not only subordinate to the male because of her unpredictability but also because of her nature as the "gentler sex." A woman was considered to be fit for homemaking and child-bearing; she was considered to have no

The play we read and watched as a movie was called The Crucible. The play and movie had several differences in three major areas those being: the setting, the plot, and the characters. The film was based on the play which is why there were plentiful differences between them. I believe the play was made into a movie to give the event a different view on what was happening as well as make the event more clear as to what was happening throughout the scenes. Making it into a film also adds more drama to it with the music and the way they shot the scenes.

Comparing a play to its movie adaptation is something that is hard to do since there is no tangible way a person can capture the original then change it to make the movie version of it up to par to the original. From the original play of A Midsummer’s Night Dream that was created by Shakespeare in the movie version of it created by Michael Hoffman, there are many similarities and differences that are in the movie some are very stark while others are very subtle differences.

The differences between these two pieces of work are also fairly obvious. In the play the two women are daughters of the Lord of Padua. The movie is modernized so that it takes place in a

There are a number of works of literature and film with roots tracing back to the work of William Shakespeare, considered by many to be the father of modern English. There are also a large number of modern adaptations of the plays of Shakespeare. One such example is the movie 10 Things I Hate About You, which is a modern adaptation of the play The Taming of the Shrew. Being that the movie is an adaptation there is a wealth of similarities between the two, but there are also a number of differences. Some of these differences being in the characters, plot, and setting.

Comparing the movie to the film, it follows the same concept although there is a ton of differences. First off, they have a fake wedding inside of a dress shop in the movie and in the play the couple gets secretly married, but it’s still the real deal. A big thing that I noticed is the death situation compared to the play, in the play Romeo kills Juliet’s cousin, which leads Romeo to drink poison because he doesn’t think Juliet loves him, which causes Juliet to commit suicide using his

Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream are both based on the same tragedy of Pyramus and Thisbe which explains why they are very much alike. Although Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy and A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a comedy, these two plays share many similarities such as the theme of power and control. Shakespeare develops the theme of power and control likewise in both Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream by displaying the character’s oblivion to the amount of power they obtain.

There are many differences and similarities between the Othello play and the 1995 movie directed by Oliver Parker, although the setting, plot and characters remain the same. Parker does make some changes in other ways, and those changes are what offer some of the differences between the two. Some of the differences between the film and play are: the different interpretations of lago; the use of imaginary sequences; and the fact that the movie has cut an abundant amount of the text. The first is perhaps of most significance. Rather than changing the story the director successfully uses his cinematic tools to deliver the complexity of emotion and conflict felt by both Othello and Iago. The Director also uses Othello’s dreams to make Othello’s

Certain parallels can be drawn between William Shakespeare's plays, "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and "Romeo and Juliet". These parallels concern themes and prototypical Shakespearian character types. Both plays have a distinct pair of 'lovers', Hermia and Lysander, and Romeo and Juliet, respectively. Both plays could have also easily been tragedy or comedy with a few simple changes. A tragic play is a play in which one or more characters  has a moral flaw that leads to his/her downfall. A comedic play has at least one humorous character, and a successful or happy ending. Comparing these two plays is useful to find how
